OEM KIA Oil filter

I have a 2017 Kia Optima Lx 2.4 GDI 197,000 km with the same issue which is burning excessive oil. You need to make sure you use OEM oil filter on your car because I have experienced it myself by putting high end expensive oil filters which still leaked even though they fit perfect.

Pros: OEM filter prevents leaks
Cons: expensive filters leaked
Vehicle: Kia Optima
Mileage: 197000 km

I loved my DWS06s... they were loud though. I have General GMAX AS-05s on the Optima. They are quiet with the stock suspension, but not as grippy and wonderful as the DWS06s

Pros: quiet with stock suspension
Cons: less grippy

Rating 1.0

These tires have 17k miles on them in the city and are completely useless now. It feels like I am driving in my Jeep offroad. The car literally pitches and rolls at low speeds; at highway speeds it vibrates badly.

Cons: useless, terrible vibration
